This ground-breaking Research Handbook provides a state-of-the-art
discussion of the international law of Indigenous rights and how it
has developed in recent decades. Drawing from their extensive
knowledge of the topic, leading scholars provide strong general
coverage and highlight the challenges and cutting-edge issues
arising for Indigenous peoples. Offering readers an engaging review
of ongoing lawmaking, adoption and implementation processes from
both a global and regional perspective, it also investigates the
important elements of Indigenous rights and economic issues,
including trade, investment and economic growth. Furthermore, it
offers timely coverage of environmental rights, land and natural
resources. This essential Handbook will provide a useful discussion
point for practitioners on Indigenous rights developments and
scholars looking for an innovative approach on cutting-edge issues.

implementation of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous
People (UNDRIP) will also find this invaluable.
The book contains more than 250 photographs which are
representative of the thousands that were studied. Each photograph
is evaluated and interpreted in terms of the intended meaning and
purpose of the images. . . . This book is a pleasure to read and
represents the distillation of many hundreds of hours reviewing
photographic materials. . . . The basic information regarding the
interpretation of photographic conventions should be of great
interest to both photographers and those with an interest in the
cultural histories of Britain and the US. Journal of Biological
Photography With a perspective shaped by recent work in art history
and the sociology of knowledge, the authors encourage the reader to
analyze photographs as complicated historical documents. They argue
that, while photographs may appear to be literal depictions of
reality, they actually pose profound problems of historical
interpretation. The authors take as their subject matter the
representation of medicine in photographs taken in Britain and the
United States from 1840 through the present day. They have studied
thousands of photographs, more than 250 of which are reprinted in
this volume, in conjunction with other primary sources and
historical accounts. The text explores the representations of
medicine made by photographers and their employers, and the ways
that audiences through the years have interpreted their messages.
